Synopsis
For everyone who ever said L.A. has no history, here comes Charles Phoenix and Southern Californialand: Mid-Century Culture in Kodachrome. Phoenix presents the colorful region as the locals saw it through the lens of their cameras in the 1940s. '50s and '60s -- more than 170 spectacular images printed from the best of Phoenix's collection of other people's old slides. Southern Californialand shows the lifestyle and landscape from Santa Barbara to San Diego, from the desert to the sea. With all the charm of a young and energetic Garrison Keillor, Phoenix shares these one-of-a-kind slides and the stories that go with them. He takes us into the living rooms and backyards of real people, travels with them uptown and downtown, visiting the famous attractions along the way. This homage to his homeland is a dazzling follow-up to his bestselling book, Southern California in the 50s. His live "God Bless Americana" retro slide shows play to standing-room-only audiences on both coasts. Filled with futurism, escapism, the unconventional and the hauntingly normal, Southern Californialand is as startling, beautiful, poignant and witty as the world it reveals. If you love Southern California -- and even if you don't -- you'll want Southern Californialand on your coffee table tonight.

    Communication with this seller was outstanding. The bunny was packed with tons of bubble wrap in a large box. Shipping was fair and it was a very good value. It looks new - as it should - it's glass. The bunny is just as shown and pictured in the listing. Trust this seller. A+
